I want to believe the rams have a good chance to win, and I do, but the Vikings will be more prepared this time.I'm sure the Vikings will be more prepared this time. But what's to prevent the Rams from being "more prepared" this time too? Or do you mean the Vikings will be more prepared than the Rams? I don't think winning the first time around prohibits preparedness? Just like losing the first time around doesn't allow for more.I rewatched that game on NFL Channel last night. There were more than a half dozen plays that could have went either way on both sides. But more important, that game was 11 weeks ago (almost 3 months). That's a long time. Fernando Valenzuela died 2 days before the game and the World Series was starting the day after. Kupp was playing for the first time in 4 weeks, Puka was playing for the first time in 5 weeks. Versa and Fiske were playing in their 6th game, Speights got his first snaps of the season that night. Limmer was starting his 5th game, Avila was on IR, Higbee wasn't even close to playing and Kinchens hadn't played 90 snaps yet. I think both teams will be prepared. Who wins will be determined by which units play the best. BTW, welcome to the board. Been following the horns since the Coliseum had a Roman playing there.

We better get pressure on Darnold one way or another. Probably need to force a TO or 3. Our offense has to do its part as well, no 3 and outs and score 28+ points...

But the thing that stuck out to me was the fact that it continued to work, over and over again. Usually a defense that gets burned by the screen game once or twice makes adjustments and then the screen game gets shut down. That didn't happen with the Seahawks' defense. They just kept falling for it repeatedly. That's on them.You can't fault LaFleur for continuing to call plays that are working. 1 Reply 9 / 33 1 9 33 Display: All posts1 day7 days2 weeks1 month3 months6 months1 year Sort by: AuthorPost timeSubject Sort by: AscendingDescending Jump to: Forum Rams/NFL Other Sports Rams Fans United Q&A's Board Business 323 posts Jul 05 2025 FOLLOW US @RAMSFANSUNITED Who liked this post

No clue. Because it wasn't really a serious game for either team so we can't judge it as such? Really no idea, maybe luck. A lot of it was breaking the first tackle and i feel like that's just hit or miss...

I also think Jimmy is a little better at check down type stuff than Stafford, the timing was on point. Stafford looks more downfield.

But the thing that stuck out to me was the fact that it continued to work, over and over again. Usually a defense that gets burned by the screen game once or twice makes adjustments and then the screen game gets shut down. That didn't happen with the Seahawks' defense. They just kept falling for it repeatedly. That's on them.You can't fault LaFleur for continuing to call plays that are working. 1 Reply 9 / 33 1 9 33 Display: All posts1 day7 days2 weeks1 month3 months6 months1 year Sort by: AuthorPost timeSubject Sort by: AscendingDescending Jump to: Forum Rams/NFL Other Sports Rams Fans United Q&A's Board Business 323 posts Jul 05 2025

I want to believe the rams have a good chance to win, and I do, but the Vikings will be more prepared this time.Coming off of an embarrassment like last week, gotta think Vikings will be focused. Then again, was a physical, emotionally draining game for them. Hopefully it took its toll.Welcome to the board!
